About this cottage rental
If you are looking for a remote, yet well-located retreat, this gorgeous, cedar-shingled Cape Breton cottage is perfect for a memorable getaway. It is perched high above the ocean with epic views and sea sounds. These are some of the most spectacular vistas in all of Cape Breton: endless ocean, beach and Sea Wolf Island (framed perfectly, as if for your personal pleasure!) You don't just enjoy the views- you hear the ocean beside you, lapping at the rocks below, sometimes crashing; it's almost hypnotizing. Check our short video in the "Photos" section.
In the cottage, summer evenings are cool –great for sleeping– often with brilliant sunsets. Outside, the large deck with its lovely cascading stairs, is positioned perfectly for spotting lobster boats, eagles, moose, bobcats, and the whales which pass by most of the year, and from where you’ll catch dramatic sunsets and panoramic views. Beaches? Hiking? Fine Dining? Music? All close at hand…
TumbleSea cottage changes over on Fridays. Charming and comfortable, the open-plan living space features beams and vaulting ceilings that lend it a bright and airy feel, with a fully equipped kitchen and dining area surrounded by windows for spectacular views. Finished with both rustic and contemporary furnishings and decor, the cottage is welcoming and homey, with one cozy bedroom for two.
There’s all the kitchen equipment you need to prepare a feast from local specialties. You will love the supple leather couch in the living room, which is the perfect spot for connecting with friends, (which is easier than ever, with a fast fibre op internet/ wifi connection).
Dig into a good book, or just enjoy the view. You can watch storms develop on the horizon, and play themselves out before they ever reach you. As evening turns to night, relax and take in the starry night skies, and steady cadence of the flashing light of the island lighthouse.
This cottage changes over on Fridays only. If your preferred weeks happen to be booked, please check our other lovely oceanside cottages: #203860, #382569, #3490361 #277105 #2599594 (Although the cancellation policy lists "no refunds," there ARE refunds–it is just that our policy did not fall within VRBO's categories.)
Nestled amongst trees, roses and the water, TumbleSea cottage offers complete privacy, complete comfort, and an unforgettable week. All this on a beautiful property with spring-fed brooks, just minutes from three great beaches and the Cabot Trail, a half hour from the National Park; less than thirty minutes north of the cottage, the Park has an extensive network of hiking trails, including the Skyline Trail that overlooks the Gulf, as well as dramatic waterfalls, rivers and highlands.
TumbleSea is just twenty minutes from two of the world’s finest golf courses at Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs (respectively ranked by Golf Digest at #39 and #10 in the world). There are also great restaurants and music venues within 30 minutes.

This was our second time staying at Stuart's properties, the first time was six years ago. It was a spectacular spot then and even better this time around. Stuart is a wonderful host, All of his recommendations for food, site seeing were spot on. The cottage is just as advertised, clean, beautiful views, quiet and relaxing , with all the amenities you need for a worry free stay. We will be going back and we will and have told all of our friends.

This beautiful cottage on the edge of the sea makes you feel relaxed and peaceful. If you can't unwind here "go home". The views and sounds are excellent and the owner was very helpful in providing information on the area.
We will definitely be back.

We returned from our stay at Tumble Sea Cottage just yesterday and we miss it already. The cottage was more than we expected. The view of the ocean from the main living space and deck is spectacular and falling asleep to the waves and sea breeze nothing short of amazing. Check in was seamless and our host was knowledgable and very helpful getting us settled in. The cottage was well appointed with everything you need for an extended stay. We loved seeing the eagles soaring overhead and listening to the playful red squirrels darting from tree to tree in the morning. We stayed a week and would have stayed forever if we could. Stewart, thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven with us.

All we can say is WOW! This home is spectacular! The views, the serenity, the comfort and coziness - all wonderful. And the sunsets are amazing! The cottage is elegantly simple, very comfortable, immaculate and has a peaceful, happy and welcoming energy. When we weren’t out sightseeing or hiking, we spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the sunsets and surrounding beauty. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep and the bathroom was well-stocked with supplies. Our host, Stewart, was very helpful and shared a ton of great information about the surrounding area, things to do and see, restaurants, etc. He was very responsive and accommodating. We sincerely hope to be back someday soon!

TumbleSea was unquestionably the finest Vrbo rental we've experienced thus far. Nestled in a charming location with a captivating view of the water, the cottage provided us with endless enchantment as we relaxed on the deck or in the cottage, gazing at the water and the sky. The cottage itself was impeccably clean and exuded a warm, cozy ambiance.
What truly set our stay apart was Stuart's exceptional attentiveness to our comfort and overall experience on this beautiful island. His meticulous directions to the cottage were so well-written that we easily located the property late at night, despite the darkness and the looming Hurricane Lee (thankfully reduced to a storm by the time we arrived). Stuart also generously offered superb recommendations for things to do and see on the island. For outdoor enthusiasts, the numerous breathtaking trails in the area are a must-explore.
Highlands National Park is very close and the Cabot Trail just a few minutes away. Moreover, the local seafood scene was truly outstanding!
The cottage's well-stocked kitchen provided us with all the essential utensils for preparing breakfast, along with a diverse assortment of basic spices and supplies to suit our needs.
Cape Breton has completely won us over, and we would eagerly choose to stay at TumbleSea again without hesitation. We wholeheartedly endorse this rental – it's an absolute gem!

Did you ever walk into your accommodations and drop your jaw and high five your mate. This cottage is a total score. Its located equally between the National Park and world class golf at Inverness. Two thumbs up! The proprietor is very nice, easy going and very helpful in terms of points of interest. You would be hard pressed to do better.

Truly heaven on earth! Stewart was an excellent host. He shared the best hikes, restaurants, and local events to visit while we were on vacation. The house was beautiful, clean with spectacular views.
We look forward to coming back soon.
5.0
The photos tell the story — a cosy and comfortable cottage in a great setting. Good for anyone looking for "ocean" proximity and privacy. The place is very thoughtfully appointed and comfortable although there were a few components which we felt needed replacement because of evident wear or functionality (eg. the bedroom dresser, the "back" door, the rusted lounger chairs). These weren't deal breakers but considering the price point, such improvements would give it a notable refresh. The main downside is not the cottage itself but how far away Cape Breton is relative to large East coast cities. (If we were to do it again, we'd fly in and rent a car.)

This cottage was even more than I expected. Very clean and great communication with the owner. The view was just outstanding. Will definitely return.

My wife and I had a great week of hiking, swimming and touring. The cottage was exactly as listed.
Stewart was the perfect host who took the time to give us great details of sites, restaurants and much more.

This cozy cottage has great views of the ocean and Chimney Corner beach. The Chimney Corner location is also perfect for spending time anywhere along the west coast, especially the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Inverness, and Margaree. The hosts are fabulous and responsive to every need. Thank you Stewart!

My wife and I spent a wonderful week at Tumble Sea in early September 2022. We were sad to leave this cozy, warm, comfortable, well equipped cottage that has to have one of the best views on Cape Breton and is in a great convenient location minutes from a lovely beach. Stepping out on the expansive deck upon arrival and throughout our stay was a joyful experience with stunning views, spectacular sunsets and seal and porpoise sightings. The Kitchen is well furnished and has everything you need, bath towels are soft, bed is comfortable, lots of good books to read and browse through.
Stewart (owner/host) left us a warm welcoming note and spent almost an hour with us in person providing an orientation to the cottage and reliable recommendations to local restaurants, suggestions for great hiking trails on the island, and music venues for the beautiful Celtic music that any visitor must seek out. He is a very nice man who takes pride in his cottage and Cape Breton. Overall, our stay was a wonderful experience and Cape Breton is a gorgeous Island.
We would come back to Tumbe Sea in a heartbeat. It was one of our best getaways ever and even with all the previous positive reviews it was far beyond expectations.

At the end of a winding wooded path on the edge of a cliff overlooking the impossibly beautiful Gulf of St. Lawrence you will find the cottage. Adorable but unassuming. Cozy and very comfortably furnished. An amazing space in a very special place.

We had an amazing two weeks at Chimney Corner. The cottage is cozy, clean and well-equipped. It has a quaint yet modern feel to it, and is isolated and quiet, which was exactly what we were looking for. The silence was beautiful. The expansive deck provides lots of space to relax, read and take in the view. And the view…well, simply spectacular. Perched on a cliff, the cottage looks out onto beautiful ocean as far as the eye can see. The sunsets were a nightly extravaganza. With the windows open at night, you could hear the waves crashing below, which lulled us to sleep. The surrounding area offers endless opportunities for swimming (the nearby sandy beach is gorgeous), hiking, running, and sightseeing (the Cabot trail is a five minute drive away — it’s everything it’s cracked up to be). Our drive to White Point was breathtaking, rivalling a similar drive we took in Corsica some years ago. Make sure you visit the Dancing Goat cafe for the amazing coffee and sandwiches. And finally, Stewart was a gracious and helpful host, always there for us but not overbearing. In short, it was one of the best vacations of our lives. Cape Breton is one of Canada’s best-kept secrets, and Chimney Corner is a treasure. We will be back!

Nous avons séjourné la première semaine du mois d'août 2022 dans cette magnifique maison. La vue est totalement phénoménale. On ne se lasse pas d'admirer le paysage et les couchers de soleil d'une rare beauté. À la nuit tombée, il ne faut pas oublier d'admirer le ciel avec ses nombreuses étoiles. La maison était très propre et bien aménagée. Le site est paisible et très relaxant. Nous avons eu une semaine très chaude et l'air en provenance du golf venait rafraîchir la maison pour nous permettre de passer des bonnes nuits au frais et au son des vagues. Il ne faut pas oublier également de mentionner l'accueil de Stewart. Il a été de très bon conseil pour nous guider dans nos sorties. Il nous a fait découvrir des coins cachés de l'île que nous n'aurions probablement jamais vues. En plus des nombreux attraits touristiques de l'île qu'il ne faut pas manquer, une superbe plage est à proximité (moins de 2 minutes en auto). Merci Stewart ... ce fût une semaine mémorable dont nous garderons un très bon souvenir !

Peaceful Tranquility
After my retirement I spent two weeks at the cottage in late May / early June to unwind, slow down, and clear my head a bit. What a beautiful experience! The TumbleSea cottage is a wonderful place to take in the ocean breeze, see amazing sunsets (and sunrises too), and I don't think I've ever seen the stars so bright. Stewart, the host, took the time to fill me in on places to go and see on Cape Breton, and his suggestions, especially for off-the beaten-path ideas, really helped make it a memorable experience. I highly recommend the Kauzmann Trail in the early morning--spectacular, and even better in my opinion than the popular Skyline Trail. Thanks to Stewart & Bell for an awesome stay at their beautiful cottage by the sea!!

Cozy and Romantic TumbleSea Cottage
TumbleSea Cottage in Chimney Corner, Nova Scotia is a clean, comfortable, inviting cottage with a breathtakingly beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. The cottage is cozy and a bit romantic, with it's private setting just steps from the sea and the accompanying sounds of ocean waves crashing below. Over coffee on the deck our first morning in the cottage we were greeted by an Eagle that happened to be flying along the
coastline cliffs.
The location of the cottage is just off the Cabot Trail and is convenient to a number of small fishing villages and the amazingly beautiful Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Each day featured a new adventure somewhere in Cape Breton,
but we always made it back to our lovely cottage in time to witness the stunning sunsets. We can't wait to return to TumbleSea again.
2.5
The property is lovely and the surroundings are stunning. The place was clean and well appointed. Take heed of the "must see" tips that host Stewart presents. We arrived several days late and had we not listened to Stewart we would have missed some great sites in favor of more touristy attractions. The national park, not far away, is absolutely stunning. We plan to come back when we can stay the whole week and take it all in properly!

Spectacular Gem on Cape Breton Ocean Coast
My family and I spent an unforgettable week at this fantastic cottage at Cape Breton's Ocean Coast. As you can tell from the photos, the view is simply spectacular. But what even the photos can't capture is how this place perfectly encapsulates the dramatic beauty of Cape Breton Island. Whether during a peaceful day when the boundless ocean sparkles gently under the sun, or during an Atlantic Storm when the water tumbles and crashes with the wind -- you look out the window, and the sea is right there, with all its sweeping fragrance and engulfing majesty, and all your worldly worries are washed away.
Even more incredible than the cottage itself, is Stewart as a host. He takes time to meet with every single one of his guests, giving them all his detailed knowledge of the best and most unique gems that the island has to offer. His guest guidebook is an enchiridion of all the essences of the island. In all our years with vacation rentals, we have never met a host quite like Stewart. His passion and dedication for this beautiful island and his craft are simply unmatched. When you look out of the cottage, you see the art of nature unfolding before your eyes. When you look within, you feel the art of a host making this magical experience happen for you. In our opinion, Stewart’s Cape Breton cottage is a must-have Cape Breton and Nova Scotia experience in and of itself.
Thank you so much Stewart for having us.
All the best,
Vivian & Victoria

Slice of Heaven on Earth
My husband and I spent the week here for our honeymoon. It was the perfect location! It was secluded and private with lots to do just a short drive away on the days we wanted. The views of the ocean during the day and stars at night were breath taking. Stewart was an amazing host, giving us lots of suggestions to do in the area. He took time to meet and orient us and answered any questions we had promptly. The property was gorgeous and the cottage had everything you might need. Can't not say enough good about this place! We can't wait to go back.

We've never said WOW so often!
It is true... this property has a huge WOW factor and my wife and I literally said WOW multiple times every day we were there. In fact, the entire west coast of Cape Breton is spectacular. As all the other reviews indicate, Stewart, the owner was fantastic and super helpful providing great insights and ideas on areas to explore. The arrival and departure process was flawless and everything was handled in a very respectful and professional manner.
The cottage is fully equipped and exceptionally clean - just what you need for a peaceful getaway. And the pictures actually don't do justice to this cottage and the location. As great as these pictures are, it is so much better when you get here. The views are amazing and are constantly changing... even when the weather was a bit blustery, especially with gusty winds from the west, the waves and the sounds of the ocean just add to the atmosphere.
This is, without a doubt, one of the most magnificent cottages for two in all of Nova Scotia.
Thank you, Stewart, for an amazing stay and we hope to be back next summer.

Wonderful Memories
This is a beautiful property. We enjoyed our week here very much in large part to the helpfulness of Stewart and his recommendations. He goes out of his way to ensure you have knowledge of the area and local restaurants, etc. The cottage itself is just what you see on line. It's extremely comfortable and well equipped. Its hard to describe just how beautiful the view is until you see it for yourself. Here are just a few of the places we visited and ate at: the Mabou farmer's market on Sunday mornings is great with lots of local products, baked items, local crafts and music. Playing golf at Cabot Cliffs is a round that will always be remembered; we found several lovely pieces of sea glass on Inverness Beach; driving the Cabot Trail and lunch at Salty Rose's (try the crab salad sandwich); the Dancing Goat Cafe (twice); Helen's bakery located inside the Co-Op (the oat cakes and Porridge bread are so good). It was just a wonderful week overall and provided us with some wonderful memories.

Spectacular
Great cottage with a fabulous view and all the amenities you’ll need and want. Cape Breton is wildly beautiful—and this location was the perfect base for our daily explorations. Clean, super comfortable and very cozy on cold and windy nights. Thank you Stewart for providing good recommendations for our week’s visit. We covered nearly all, and then some. A particular highlight was dinner at Woodroad, a very short drive away—-can’t be beat!

One of our most memorable vacations ever! TumbleSea was as advertised and more. Stewart gave us great suggestions on places to see and restaurants to eat and other helpful hints. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the view from the deck was beyond compare. If there was a downside it was that we had to leave. TumbleSea gets a top shelf, 5 star rating!

Perfect place to disconnect
Property has an "old fashioned cottage feel" with tasteful architectural upgrade, comfortable bed, lots of nice quality towels in the bathroom, good heating for cool days and VIEWS!! We were entertained by a pair of golden eagles, lobster fisherman, the Suetes (Western Cape Breton winds). Our host was quick to respond to our WIFI issues. (Bring a DVD player in case of disruption. This is the ideal place to read). Hiking trails with beautiful views nearby (25-30 minutes), a 20 min drive for groceries (Margaree Coop- friendliest service ever!), and of course FRESH seafood (we sampled in Inverness & Cheticamp). Cell phone service can be spotty but better in the nearby towns if you need to keep in touch. Don't miss out on the Larchwood Enterprises in Margaree to check out their beautiful cutting boards!

Amazing! Sunning! Breathtaking! How can I thank you enough?
This is our second trip to this cottage in as many years. Greatly in need of a peaceful and relaxing spot to rest and relax, Cape Breton and this Chimney Corner cottage was simply perfect. No detail is overlooked. Clean, comfortable, nicely appointed and one of the most stunning locations in the world. As a host, Stewart can't do enough for you. Thank you, Stewart, for a lovely week! We will be back soon.

180 degree view of heaven
Our stay at Tumble Sea cottage has been a long time coming. I have been looking at Stewart's properties on VRBO for over 3 years & my husband & I decided that this was finally the year to pull the trigger for one final getaway before we welcome our first child this November. I knew from picture's that the cottage was going to be lovely but I was NOT prepared for the view to literally take my breath away. The moment we walked onto that deck we gasped, turned to each other & could not hold back a shit eating grin that remained painted on our faces for the length of our stay. How lucky we felt to be able to stay in this truly unique property in this lovely, secluded location on the Gulf of St Lawrence :0) Stewart was at our door within an hour with maps in hand & sat with us for over an hour highlighting different trails, drives, hikes, waterfalls & restaurants we should visit during our stay. His love of the area was intoxicating & his advice invaluable, we would not have had the wonderful experience we did in Cape Breton without it. The cottage was impeccably clean with great attention paid to detail (art work on the wall painted by his wife & lovely photo's of the surrounding area) & amenities (he had a whole basket of Tupperware! something we always forget when traveling which we utilized extensively over the course of the week). Some of the highlights of our week included: driving the Cabot trail of course & stopping at the Aucoin Bakery for tasty raisin scones, apple turnovers & coffee along the way, walking the skyline trail, driving up to & walking out on to White Point (you literally feel like you've been transported to a different country), going to the Mabou farmer's market on Sunday from 11-2pm (where my husband discovered Steinhart's Gin which he is convinced has changed his life), visiting Big Spruce Brewery & Eileanan Breagha vineyards on Bras d'Or Lake, walking the inverness boardwalk & devoring a delicious lobster roll from the Beach shack for only $17 as well as eating multiple meals at both the Dancing Goat Café in Margaree & the Red Shoe Pub in Mabou. Thank you again Stewart for allowing us to stay at your cottage, it was exactly what we needed & are already missing beautiful Nova Scotia.

Wonderful stay in Nova Scotia!
We spent two weeks at the TumbleSea cottage in Chimney Corner. We had beautiful weather and experienced magnificent views from the spacious deck. The cottage is a great base to visit Cape Breton National Park. We hiked, whale watched and visited several small towns including Inverness, Mabou, Cheticamp and Meat Cove.
Our host, Stewart, was a wealth of local information. He spent time with us when we first arrived and all of his recommendations were spot on. We were really grateful for his expertise. The cottage is well equipped for cooking at home should you so choose. There were so many wonderful highlights about our stay but we absolutely loved the evenings on the deck watching magnificent sunsets. We hope to return.

Breathtaking!!
The aptly named Tumblesea cottage is perched on the cliff edge above the lovely, golden beach at Chimney Corner affording uninterrupted views over the Gulf of St Lawrence. The house is perfect - tucked away out of sight of any other houses, exceptionally well equipped and designed in an open plan style which is just perfect for a couple.
The property owner, Stewart, lives within a couple of hundred yards and is always readily contactable by mobile or email should the need arise. We stayed in another of Stewart's cottages 2 years ago so we had a good idea about Cape Breton's attractions but Stewart again made a point of calling in the day we arrived to give tips about restaurants, walking trails, boat trips, etc.
The cottage is ideally located roughly half way between Inverness and the national park - both within 30 minutes drive.
We can't wait to return to this little corner of paradise.

Wonderful, beautiful
This is a wonderful little cottage in a setting of other-worldly beauty. It is airy and comfortable to be in. It is neat and clean. The bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. The spacious deck, with its full-width stair case, is an irresistible place to sit and wait for the sun to set, or for a shooting star to flash by, or for an eagle to fly by in the morning, or for seals to appear in the beautiful cove below the rocky cliff, which is just feet from front edge of the deck. The house is private, but not remote: the next cottage is maybe 50 yards away behind a line of trees, and the owner's house is just beyond that. Chimney Corner Beach and Sea Wolf Island are both framed in the view from the deck. The beach is just a couple minutes' drive away. It is casual (no lifeguard) and popular, but not crowded. The water was perfect when we were there in August. The nearest restaurant is maybe a 10-15 minute drive, but we more more inclined to cook at the cottage when we were there. And finally, Stewart is a friendly, honest, and informative host. If you came to Cape Breton for the culture and natural beauty, you're there. But if you're not sure what to do and what not to do, Stewart can tell you. You should take his recommendations to heart. Enjoy!
